Ingredients: 1 1/2
ounces
vodka 1/2
ounce
Triple Sec 1
teaspoon
superfine sugar 3/4
ounce
freshly squeezed lemon juice
Ice cubes
Superfine sugar for dipping
Twisted peel of lemon Directions:
1.
Mix the vodka, Triple Sec, sugar, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice; shake well (supposedly the cocktail is to be shaken 40 times to make sure the sugar is well blended). Pour strained liquor into sugar-rimmed martini glass and garnish with a twisted peel of lemon.
2.
To create a sugar-rimmed glass, take a lemon wedge and rub the drinking surface of the glass so it is barely moist. Dip the edge of the glass into sugar.
This is a very sweet and lemony drink that came into vogue during the 1970s in California. It is now a favorite drink of the West Coast. Think of the lemon drop candies!
